‘Erection problems are not common
This is false – most men simply do not talk about it. A survey sponsored by the pharmaceutical company Pharmacia & Upjohn found that more than 1 in 4 of the UK male population over the age of 16 have experienced erectile disorder to some degree. Of these, over half experienced the problem as one-off incidents and a quarter suffer erectile disorder most or all of the time. There are probably 20 million men with erection problems in the USA, and 2–3 million in the UK.
‘Erection problems are usually psychological’
This is an old-fashioned view; impotence is most commonly due to a physical cause.
‘Testosterone injections/patches are a good cure for erection problems’
Testosterone is of use only in the uncommon situation the man has a proven shortage of testosterone.
‘Viagra-type drugs work for everyone’
These drugs are successful in only 50–80% of cases.
